Check out Commander Cody’s earlier post[/QUOTE]

And since Sikorsky hasn’t released a rotor diameter, here is a top down photo of SB>1 and an H-60 for visual comparison. There’s a difference in footprint between them all, but it’s largely the orientation of the aircraft that’s different, not the area itself.

(The red circles are the same, looks like SB>1 rotor diameter is ~3 feet larger in area than an H-60?)
